Trying to decide what seasonal beers I should bring in to the HEB I buy beer for, but I have pretty limited space. What would you buy if out of these?

4

5


I know the 6 pack is the odd man out, but just imagine its a single bottle.

Personally, I'd go for 4, because I love flippy bottles. I also like #s 1 and 3, tho.

Man....how do you get a job buying beer for HEB....I SO need that job!

Do you go up to your boss and say, "Hey. I like to drink beer. Can I get promoted to buying it?"

Have purchased the Great Divide a few times, had it at GABF, and in their Denver tasting room. So that one got my vote. It's good stuff.

I would also buy 1, 3, and maybe 5. Which HEB are you at, and is this a sign of better beer to come at HEBs in general? That would be awesome!

The last one has a picture of snow and a little cabin ... reminds me of skiing and fun and ale I've had after skiing. I'd go for that one. Chocolate flavored beer sounds interesting in theory, but I doubt I'd buy six of them. The graphics of the fourth one are clean and inviting. If the fifth one didn't remind me of skiing, I'd go for it.

John,

Since you are fairly new to the forum let me take you under my wing and show you where you have gone wrong with this pole. 1) first have a gtg, close to me would be fine, 2) have a tasting with those of us experianced in the fine art of beer drinking. Or just have a party with only those beers and the brand that runs out wins.

No, I'm afraid the palette of my main customer base would not be able to handle such wonderful flavors
